Students from area high schools gathered on the Weatherford College campus Friday, Feb. 18, for the 20th annual Coyote Area Math Championship in honor of Pat Cook to compete in pre-calculus and calculus competitions via written tests. 

The event was officially renamed this year to honor Cook, a retired WC math department chair who began the contest and passed away in 2021. His wife and children were present at the event for the official renaming. 

Mike Endy, vice president of instruction and student services, also announced a posthumous naming of Cook as professor emeritus. 

“It is vital that we honor Pat Cook today because in all of those years and in every day of them, he was a consummate professional, gifted instructor, respected colleague and beloved friend,” Endy said. “Pat’s legacy at Weatherford College lives in the hearts of people whose lives he touched. Today, his name is entered with those of that select group of individuals who have exemplified the best of what it means to be a teacher.”
